Using the embedded hypervisor
The VMware ESXi embedded hypervisor software is available on the optional USB flash device or SD adapter.
The USB flash device and the SD adapter can be installed in the USB connector and the SD adapter
connector on the system board (see “System-board internal connectors” on page 26 for the location of the
connectors). Hypervisor is virtualization software that enables multiple operating systems to run on a host
system at the same time. The USB flash device or the SD adapter is required to activate the hypervisor
functions.
To start using the embedded hypervisor functions, you must add the USB flash device or the SD adapter to
the startup sequence in the Setup Utility.
To add the USB flash device or the SD adapter to the startup sequence, complete the following steps:
Step 1. Turn on the server.
Note: Approximately 20 seconds after the server is connected to power, the power-control button
becomes active.
Step 2. When the prompt
<F1> Setup
is displayed, press F1.
Step 3. From the Setup Utility main menu, select Boot Manager .
Step 4. Select Add Boot Option ; then, select Generic Boot Option ➙ Embedded Hypervisor . Press
Enter, and then select Esc.
Step 5. Select Change Boot Order ➙ Change the order . Use the Up Arrow and Down Arrow keys
to select Embedded Hypervisor and use the plus (+) and minus (-) keys to move Embedded
Hypervisor in the boot order. When Embedded Hypervisor is in the correct location in the boot
order, press Enter. Select Commit Changes and press Enter.
Step 6. Select Save Settings and then select Exit Setup .
If the embedded hypervisor image becomes corrupt, go to https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/downloads
and follow the instructions on the screen.

Configuring the Ethernet controller
The Ethernet controllers are integrated on the system board. They provide an interface for connecting to a 10
Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1 Gbps network and provide full-duplex (FDX) capability, which enables simultaneous
transmission and reception of data on the network.
If the Ethernet ports in the server support auto-negotiation, the controllers detect the data-transfer rate
(10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, or 1000BASE-T) and duplex mode (full-duplex or half-duplex) of the network
and automatically operate at that rate and mode.
You do not have to set any jumpers or configure the controllers. However, you must install a device driver to
enable the operating system to address the controllers.
To find device drivers and information about configuring the Ethernet controllers, go to

Enabling Features on Demand Ethernet software
You can activate the Features on Demand (FoD) software upgrade key for Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)
and iSCSI storage protocols that are integrated in the integrated management module.
